The author of a book about singer Ian Dury will present a film about the rock star at a Norwich cinema this week.

Richard Balls, best known to Evening News readers for his column about Norwich City, penned a biography of Dury called Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll: The Life of Ian Dury.

A film named Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll - starring Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy - has been made and Mr Balls will introduce a screening of it at Cinema City on Wednesday.

Afterwards, Mr Balls will be selling signed copies of his book, thanks to independent Norwich bookshop The Book Hive, and will then be available in the bar to chat more about Ian Dury.

The talk will start at 6.10pm.
